You can start stuff in ~/.xinitrc.d ... the xterm that runs when you launch X11.app can be disabled or changed to something else. Take a look at this FAQ entry:

It's a complex startup path, but suffice it to say that ~/.Xresources is read as part of /opt/X11/lib/X11/xinit/xinitrc which is used assuming you don't have ~/.xinitrc

Yes. Rename the file to ~/.Xresources
